Listening to Sounds of the 70s on Radio 2 which I try to listen to as much as possible, Johnnie Walker announced that he will be stopping introducing this programme at the end of the month due to his ill health. Bob Harris taking over but such a shame that Johnnie has to give up. He's been a great DJ for over 60 years.

I see The Times has reissued their "Top Ten Funeral" music, with the usual suspectS "My Way" "Angels" "Wind Beneath My Wings" etc. and it got me remembering my list I made some 10 years ago (and I'm still here!............just), and this is it, and as you can see they are all instrumental except for REM :-
